Season 8

Since 2017, we’ve released 279 podcasts, including 17 video episodes, with 204 military veterans, told over 7 seasons and 2 miniseries. With over 2 million downloads, streams and watches, we’re honoured to continue telling the stories of Australian military veterans. Our first four seasons are also part of the Australian War Memorial national archive, and our later seasons are gradually making their way there, too.  

Tomorrow’s episode with World War II veteran Peter Whitehead kicks off our eighth year of podcasting. This is the start of Season 8, which will be an ongoing season with no end date in sight. Episodes will drop when they’re ready, so stay subscribed to us through social media, your favourite podcast app or our website to never miss a veteran’s story.
